New Datatable Features

The new v4.2.0 release of Datatable is now available!

Updates

The newest feature is Pagination. You can now specify how many records to show at a time and allow the user to page back and forth through the table.

A reactive Table Header is another new addition to this release. You can use a Text Temple, Formula or any other reactive component as part of your table header.

Based on feedback on how users were configuring the component, I moved the Configure Columns button from the top to the bottom of the Table Formatting section of the Property Editor.


Bug Fixes

The following bugs have been addressed in this release.

  • Fixed a bug where the maximum number of rows to be displayed gets cleared
  • Fixed a bug where an invalid link would show when an Apex Defined Lookup field was empty (@spyros-michailidisspyros-michailidis PR#1524)
  • Fixed an install issue with ers_DatatableController.cls if the target org has a class named “Test”
  • Fixed a bug where Date fields from External Objects would show as blank (@philipnovak-pentair PR#1529)

Notes

If you also update the FlowActionsBasePack to v3.16 or later and the FlowScreenComponentsBasePack to v3.3.3 or later, the object selector for Datatable and many other USF components will now support standard objects released since API version 53.0. The most recent supported version is now API 60.0.

This release of Datatable will not yet retain selected rows when changing Search Terms, Column Filters, Sorting or Pagination. This support is planned for a future release.
